No, so my history with Bond is like this. I was born in 92, and never saw a bond movie until Casino Royale, but Pierce Brosnan was sort of ubiquitously the Bond I knew through culture. At King's Island there was a James Bond ride, the video games I played featured Pierce Brosnan's likeness, you'd see him in trailers and TV spots and posters, etc.

I enjoyed Casino Royale, and at the time, didn't realize how much it was subverting the character and is an abomination haha.

I didn't like any of the other Bond films that Daniel Craig did.

About 6 or so years ago I decided to watch all the Bond films starting with Sean Connery. I liked all the Bonds, but I would have placed Roger Moore as my favorite back when I watched them, up until recently when I watched the Dalton movies again with my parents and appreciated them way more than I did the first time. I would say it was this second time watching them that I realized how good he was as Bond.

When I first marathoned the Bond movies, I was so used to Roger Moore as Bond because he has so many movies that I was watching back to back over a month or two that it didn't allow me to truly appreciate how cool Timothy Dalton's Bond was. On second glance, without missing Roger Moore's version, I came away thinking that Timothy Dalton is how Bond should be played and left me wishing he got a true shot with like 5 or 6 movies.
